Who am I again?

Greetings to all.

I don't bite and truly hope the sentiment is the same for everyone else. Writing has been a hobby for quite a while with me, but I hadn't really found the courage to share until now. Not to mention it hadn't occured to me until I finished something and said to myself, "Perhaps I should publish this and let others be drawn in as well." So, here I am, after a few hours of searching and reviewing information on tips and hints for new writers. I promise to be completely honest and not sugar coat any feedback I give because I assume, like me, you want to get "better".

By day I'm a full time grad student and full time employee. This leaves some time free to creatively express myself in the (LATE) evenings and weekends. I am a little hesitant to publish, to be fair, since fantasy writing is completely different from the reports and research papers I've written thus far. But what is life without a little creative expression?
